Message Types in the Smart Inbox

The following table displays the message types that are available to Sprout and appear in the Smart Inbox, as well as those that are currently unavailable.

The table is made up of network, message type and the available in inbox status.

Network - The social media network that each message type relates to: Instagram Business Profiles, Facebook Pages, Twitter profiles and LinkedIn Company Pages.

Message Type - The type of message being listed. These differ by network and this list may not be exhaustive.

Available in Inbox - The message type that appears in the Smart Inbox. If this is checked, Sprout expects to receive that message type. If this is marked with the symbol, Sprout doesn’t expect to receive the message type.
